Caring for the Elderly and Those with Dementia

With over 10 years’ experience working as a carer for elderly people, B. Mack decided to write this book to share her knowledge. She has cared mainly for elderly people who were diagnosed with dementia.

This book contains useful information that will help families, friends and caregivers to deal with their loved ones who may be going through various stages of dementia, from early stages to end stage dementia. With the help of this book you can set up a good environment for them, communicate effectively with them, learn their behavioural patterns, help navigate through changes in appetite and cope with behavioural changes. The useful tips and tried methods will help equip you when faced with challenging times like end-of-life care, dealing with abuse and so much more.

For those who are torn between nursing homes, rest homes or in-home care, there are some advantages and disadvantages listed that you need to take into consideration to help you make informed decisions.

The coping methods suggested here come from the author’s own experience. Now they might be helpful to someone else too.

After working for many years, helping elderly people with their day-to-day lives, B. Mack decided to share some of what they learnt from their years of experience, in order, to help those who are dealing with similar situations. She has worked and studied in the construction industry, but always found time in between to help those in need. Though caring for the elderly is very rewarding, B. Mack felt like their information was worth sharing with everyone and hopes the information will be useful to someone, somewhere.
